26: White God (2014)

from Motion Picture Pals Hosted by Motion Picture Pals

White God opens on an eerie, apocalyptic scene. The streets of Budapest are empty, and a lone girl bikes through the city. Suddenly, dogs. In perhaps the only film to feature 250 real (not CGI) dogs on screen at once, director Kornel Mundruczo weaves together a coming of age story about the strained relationship between a girl and her father with a dark version of Homeward Bound, featuring a live action dog performance as moving as it is realistic. White God might not be everyone’s bowl of dog chow, but we were captured by its surreal ending and its use of dogs vs. humans as a heavy handed allegory for human rights and labor issues. Interview with director Kornél Mundruczó Interview with dog handler Teresa Ann Miller Motion Picture Pals is co-hosted by Cam Call, Rebekah Markillie, and producer Travis Lien.
